Have not counted the subdirectories but have 210k+ files in the repository.
I can count later if this would be an interesting problem to solve.
Against this entire tree svn cleanup probably takes over an hour - windows
2003 is the client. By comparison I've written python scripts with
os.walkto do greps and this seems to be faster by comparison - no hard
metrics
however.
In any case, 'svn cleanup' should be a very rare thing. It only

I think this is more a function of me converting from CVS to SVN. I am
taking the more recent tags from CVS and checking into SVN to create the new
repository (we will keep CVS up for historical purposes) and just getting
used to SVN. IOW, I'll run svn up or svn commit and cancel in process which
will force me to run svn cleanup.
I think the real issue is that we may need to reorganize the repository into
more repositories so there are not so many files/directories in one - have
you seen repositories of this size/scope before? If so, does anyone have any
recommendations on repos structure?
